Kobold
Kobolds are aggressive, inward, yet industrious small humanoid creatures. They are noted for their skill at building traps and preparing ambushes, and mining. They are distantly related to dragons and are often found serving as their minions.
Kobolds are resentful of their short stature and hate members of other races who poke fun at them for this. Most feel as though they ought to compensate for their small size in other ways, such as humor or aggression. They naturally tend to hate larger creatures, and although they would show respect and obedience if required, they always looked for ways to display their resentment.
The ultimate goal of the kobold race is to conquer as much land as possible. They tend to plan and dig mines industriously, while laying cruel traps for interlopers, preferring an ambush to direct confrontation. If they ever confront an enemy, they try to overwhelm foes with sheer numbers.
Basic Information
Anatomy
A kobold is a reptilian humanoid standing between 60 and 75 cm tall, weighing 16-20kg with scaled skin between reddish brown and black in color and burnt orange to red eyes. They have long, clawed fingers and a jaw like a crocodile. Swall white or tan horns protrude from their head and they have rat-like tails. Kobolds often smell of wet dog and stagnant water and they like to wear red or orange garments, which are usually ragged.
Ecology and Habitats
Kobolds are confident and happy to remain separated from the other races. They live in the dark, ideally underground or a thick forest, in tribal societies. Their lairs are often overcrowded, which eliminates the concept of privacy. Kobolds are respectful of authority figures, and obey diligently, particularly when their ruler is of lawful evil alignment.
